Mini has introduced the 2026 Red Line Edition, which is based on the Cooper S 4-Door. It’s pretty and pricey, all in the name of exclusivity.
Starting outside, the special edition has a Legend Grey Metallic exterior that is typically reserved for John Cooper Works variants. Buyers will also find Chili Red accents as well as black 17-inch wheels that are backed up by JCW sport brakes.

The model comes equipped with the JCW Style Package, which adds an aerodynamic body kit that includes front winglets, a rear spoiler, and a sporty diffuser. Other highlights include JCW decals, a tow strap, and an exclusive Red Line badge.
Moving inside, the cabin has black Vescin sport seats with contrasting red accents. They’re joined by special headrests and a JCW steering wheel.
The special edition is based on the Iconic Trim with the Comfort Package Plus. This suggests the car will come nicely equipped with heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 9.4-inch touchscreen display. Other niceties should include augmented reality navigation, a wireless smartphone charger, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system.
Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine developing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 221 lb-ft (299 Nm) of torque. It’s paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 6.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).
Pricing starts at $43,365 before a $1,175 destination fee. That’s pretty steep considering the two-door JCW variant begins at $38,900, while the BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe starts at $40,000. If the price tag hasn’t scared you off, the company is currently accepting orders and cars are expected to arrive in May.
